The murdered American hostage had given an interview for the documentary, but it is not included in the final version.
Filmmaker Michael Moore filmed an interview with American Nicholas Berg in the course of producing his documentary film "Fahrenheit 9/11" before Berg left for Iraq, where he was taken hostage and killed, Moore confirmed to Salon in a statement Thursday. The 20 minutes of footage does not appear in the final version of "Fahrenheit 911," according to the statement.
The news that Moore spoke to Berg while he was still in the United States only adds to the mystery surrounding the young man's presence in Iraq and tragic death. The interview was shot before the 26-year-old Berg left for Iraq late last year as a private contractor in the hopes of helping to rebuild the ravaged country. Though it was unclear what Berg spoke about in his interview with Moore, or how the two men met, unrelated reports following his death indicate that he headed for the Middle East with plans to work to improve the country's technological infrastructure and communication abilities. He ran his own company, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, in a suburb of Philadelphia.

[Blunderov] I don't think anyone posted this yet.
I read that Moore turned the video back over to the family. (Under normal circumstances, a film maker would get an interviewee to sign a release contract giving the film maker rights to disseminate the material.)
Still, it does pique the curiosity - why would Moore have wished to interview him at all one wonders? It doesn't seem as if it will be used in a different movie.
